| Analysis of sample spam for the
"pharaohmeds.biz" site.
First of the 2004 spam, we can count on more to follow later.

Analysis of sample spams for the
"Tabfor.biz" Collection of Crap -
brought to you from the jerks that have many sites now just blocking the
entire set of .biz domains as useless. All these spamvertizers are
registered to the same old tabfor.biz
and spamvertize pills and medicine - we hope the FDA and the FTC catch up
with them soon.
- spamvertizer = vpachka.biz
"Thats what i heard" (also received as
"In

- spamvertizer = spamsraahnet.biz Thur, 16 Oct 2003 "Xanax is ready nowO"
We don't know this was tabfor.biz as the domain was dead by the time we
got their, but it looks like his work.

"Che@ting House Wives: Quality Enjoyment for Days & Nights!..."
We find this one VERY interesting as it associates the "tabfor.biz"
garbage for the first time with a "Cheating House Wives" site, by virtue
of having both links in the same spam. We think Eddy screwed up.

| Analysis of sample spams from spamvertizers
registered to "Frerrics Domains SL"
(probably not their real name, I wouldn't put my real name on it,
would you?). Typically some flavor of "Online Cheating Wives".
As a result of this web site we are hearing from other domain owners who
have also been subjected to having their domain names forged into spam
messages from these people. A partial list of some of the other
spamvertizing domains registered to the Frerrics Domains gang includes:
easy-loans-now.info fast-loans-now.info freewebtoken.info money-trees.info
refi-today.info save-hundreds.info
In most cases, the spamvertizer has registered both a .biz and a .info
version of the same domain name. |

I suppose we could complain to
frerrics@hotmail.com,
but we know from trying so many times before that this account will have been
closed before we could even email it.
So now what about those nameservers for the spamvertizer's domain, whois
dnswell.net?

Well, did somebody take the thing offline already?
Or am I being fooled? Try crawling the website...

No such server as freeclicks.biz
Looks like they are gone for now.
